STWNFI would like a TV in a corner of the kitchen where I cant get an
aerial feed without running cable all round the room with cabinets in the way. is there another way? Some sort of wireless transmitter/receiver would be good? Mike |

No at 100Mbps its not very good. Better to wifi abd use online services and forget the aerial https://www.mckinsey.com/business-fu...-gas-reduction Or run the cable outside the house -- You can get much farther with a kind word and a gun than you can with a kind word alone.

You should be able to run such a cable in the pipe space behind the units, or even remove the kick bottom panels and run the cable under the units. |

If you have Sky Q a mini Q box connects to the main box over wifi. Can be a little amusing if watching the same channel at the same time as it produces an echo a couple of seconds later on the second screen due to the delays transmitting over wifi. Currently the mini Q boxes cannot transmit UltraHD, I don't know if it is due to the limitations of connecting over wifi.

If it were a smart TV on wifi (or regular TV with Fire stick etc), then you could add a network tuner elsewhere that the TV could stream from. e.g: https://www.silicondust.com/ (that gives you network TV recording as well, and you don't have to use their software since the likes of Plex or Kodi understand how to use them as well) -- Cheers, John. /================================================== ===============\ | Internode Ltd - http://www.internode.co.uk | |-----------------------------------------------------------------| | John Rumm - john(at)internode(dot)co(dot)uk | \================================================= ================/ |

Not only is there a solid wall interior between the space she want the telly and the nearest outside wall but the kick boards are all nicely sealed to the floor. Mike |

Now where the hell did we pack the remote for that telly :-( Mike |

Or simply run the cable along the back clipped to the underside of the work top. Though if the Firestick works well enough without clogging up your WiFi that'll do. -- Cheers Dave. |

Often you can run the cable invisibly above the cabinet, or behind the back wall of it, if it's lined, or even under the lip where the under-cabinet lights are. 2. Could you do it with miniature coax? It's surprising where that stuff will go. Bill |

Yes as whatever you did otherwise would mean another box and more
complication of course. Obviously though not knowing the lie of the land so to speak I find it hard to think that a small bit of coax going through a wall somewhere will upset anyone if they are prepared to have an ugly TV in the kitchen in the first place, Omelettes and breaking eggs comes to mind here.

I do wish cody would make their stuff accessible for the blind, no
screenreader can use them due to their oddball api. Brian -- ----- -- This newsgroup posting comes to you directly from... The Sofa of Brian Gaff...

I'm glad they are though as STWNFI discovered the kitchen sink overflow doesn't handle full tap flow... The backs of cupboards rarely go right up to the underside of the work top so you could get access to the pipe space there. Or simply run the cable along the back clipped to the underside of the work top. Yes but there is a naval level built in oven and a solid brick wall between the unit the cable could come into the back of and the unit the TV is on Though if the Firestick works well enough without clogging up your WiFi that'll do. It seems to be working well. Mike |
